Associate Professor Wang Cheng of City University of Hong Kong and his team collaborated with researchers from the Chinese University of Hong Kong to develop microwave photonic chips with faster processing speed and lower energy consumption using lithium niobate as a platform, which can use optics for ultra-fast analog electronic signal processing and calculations. .

According to reports, this chip is 1,000 times faster than traditional electronic processors, consumes less energy, and has a wide range of applications, covering 5/6G wireless communication systems, high-resolution radar systems, artificial intelligence, computer vision, and image and video processing .

Tachyon chips achieve this outstanding performance through an integrated microwave photonic processing engine based on a thin-film lithium niobate platform that performs multi-purpose processing and calculations of analog signals.

The upstream of the optical module industry is mainly manufacturers of optical devices, optical chips, electrical chips, PCBs and structural parts, as well as optical module packaging and testing equipment suppliers. Downstream are mainly communication equipment manufacturers. Telecom equipment and data communication equipment used in optical modules are mainly used in 5G, optical fiber broadband, data centers, consumer electronics, autonomous driving and other fields.

The research team has developed a world-leading microwave photonic chip that is 1,000 times faster than existing processors. Therefore, from the perspective of the optical module industry chain, optical chip technology is in the upstream link of the industry chain.

The research results of Wang Cheng's team not only opened up a new research field, namely lithium niobate microwave photonics, making microwave photonic chips smaller, with high signal fidelity and low latency performance, but also are the basis for chip-level analog electronic processing and computing engines. breakthrough.

This technology is going to trounce nvidia AI chips easily.

Isn't DMD a tiny, tiny market?

I believe that TI didn't even want to produce newer generations until there was a sudden uptick in demand for consumer short-throws in China in recent times. In fact, the classic home projector vendors (Epson, JVC, Optoma, Benq, though only the last two use DLP) have gone from facing less and less competition to suddenly having to face XGMI, Hisense, and Formovie along with numerous other Chinese upstarts along with LG.

While the consumer smart projector market in China is dominated by super cheap 1LCD projectors, DLP does have about 25% of a large market that didn't exist until quite recently. Most 'name brand' Chinese smart projectors use DLP. Outside the home theater projector market, LCoS also has applications in AR.

Is just me or all Bloomberg articles about semiconductor in China looks the same no matter who wrote the article.

-Click bait headline like if you are paying to read something new.
-X company is using US technology do Y. Like if X company is suppose to throw US equipment to the sea.
- Unnamed source.
-Paragraph after paragraph full non nonsensical jargon, zero technical information, not specifications or type of equipment or for whatever they are using for.
-Biden administration.
-China military ambitions.
-More sanctions.

Michael Bloomberg could pay 20 bucks a month for an GPT4 account, fire these "Experts" and save some money. The poor guy is getting robbed.

It is happening already.

特别值得一提的是:通富微电,其是国内首家完成基于TSV技术的3D DRAM封装开发的封测厂,其2.5D/3D生产线建成后,将实现国内在HBM(高带宽内存)高性能封装技术领域的突破。同时通过收购AMD苏州及AMD槟城各85%股权,实现与大客户AMD深度绑定,随着AMD扩大AI芯片的规模,尤其是于2023年推出的MI300算力芯片,使得通富微电得到一个长足的发展。

另外,据内部消息,国内存储龙头——长鑫存储也与通富微电建立了稳定的合作关系,双方将在HBM量产方面进行深度合作。
Looks like Tongfu has developed the ability for 3D DRAM advanced packaging to make HBM. It's also working with CXMT to develop and mass produce HBM

Huawei is looking at reservoir computing. Might be an indicator of what direction they're going for.

Abstract
Reservoir computing originates in the early 2000s, the core idea being to utilize dynamical systems as reservoirs (nonlinear generalizations of standard bases) to adaptively learn spatiotemporal features and hidden patterns in complex time series. Shown to have the potential of achieving higher-precision prediction in chaotic systems, those pioneering works led to a great amount of interest and follow-ups in the community of nonlinear dynamics and complex systems. To unlock the full capabilities of reservoir computing towards a fast, lightweight, and significantly more interpretable learning framework for temporal dynamical systems, substantially more research is needed. This Perspective intends to elucidate the parallel progress of mathematical theory, algorithm design and experimental realizations of reservoir computing, and identify emerging opportunities as well as existing challenges for large-scale industrial adoption of reservoir computing, together with a few ideas and viewpoints on how some of those challenges might be resolved with joint efforts by academic and industrial researchers across multiple disciplines.
